Farmers feel fertilizer shortage
With spring and planting around the corner, farmers and grain elevators are faced with warnings about fertilizer shortages — another potential crisis in which railroads play a part.By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
FARGO — With spring and planting around the corner, farmers and grain elevators are faced with warnings about fertilizer shortages — another potential crisis in which railroads play a part.
Recent rail service issues this winter have left elevators and farmers' bins choked with 2013 crops. Now, railroads are being pressed to turn their focus to fertilizer for the 2014 crop.
Based on testimony in an April 10 hearing, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board on April 15 directed Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to report their "plans to ensure delivery of fertilizer shipments for spring planting of U.S. crops" by April 18.
BNSF, in its weekly podcast on rail issues, says the company recognizes the "very important need" to improve fertilizer shipments. He says the company has taken several steps to increase focus on the fertilizer fleet.
Specifically, BNSF says it is taking the following measures to increase velocity on fertilizer shipments and improve the efficiency of fertilizer service:
-- Handling unit fertilizer similar to the logistics of 110-car grain shuttles, where customers have the capacity for rapid load and unload.
-- For customers with this capability, the railroad will commit locomotives to these trains to reduce any potential delays and ensure expedited turnaround service at origin and destination.
-- Adding an additional shuttle set into fertilizer service to increase capacity through increased resources.
-- Managing crew availability, so crews are in position when the train is ready to depart.
-- Working to ensure accurate estimated times of arrival so facilities can be prepositioned to load and unload as fast as possible.
"In just a few days we have seen a 17 percent improvement in the seven-day average of these fertilizer trains," says John Miller, vice president of BNSF's agricultural group. 'These improvements are showing quick, significant progress in full cycle times of fertilizer unit trains from just a few weeks ago."
As for grain cars, Miller says BNSF has seen an increase in available supply for general fleet car orders. "Since last month, our 28-day average of equipment placed against past-due orders, have seen positive improvements of 22 percent.
He says improved weather, stronger locomotive performance and the use of directional routing in several locations to improve line capacity in key lanes will keep traffic moving.
He says past-due car numbers declined 3 percent nationwide on the week. South Dakota past dues fared the best, declining by 34 percent to 671 late cars from 1,022 the previous week. Past dues declined slightly in North Dakota and Montana but increased slightly in Minnesota. Average days late were about the same as previous weeks, except in Minnesota, where they declined to 20.9 days, which was nearly the same as the first week in March.
CP response
In the CP response, available April 18 on the STB website, the railroad says it anticipates better weather and easing of congestion in Chicago will result in lower transit times for all shipments, including ag fertilizer shipments.
CP says it has taken these steps to improve the situation:
-- Heightened the visibility for agricultural fertilizer shipments at the field operational level.
-- Accepted private cars for seasonal phosphate business.
-- Implemented a new train pair from Canada to the U.S., which will support both grain and fertilizer service.
CP described itself as "a relatively small presence in agricultural fertilizer and plant nutrients in the Dakotas, Iowa and Minnesota" and estimated its overall market share at about 10 percent. The railroad says it averages eight cars per day in Iowa, 13 cars per day in North Dakota, one car per day in South Dakota and 27 cars per day in Minnesota."
By April 25, the railroads must start weekly reporting on fertilizer shipments. They "shall provide fertilizer delivery data by state, indicating the number of cars shipped or received, which are billed to agricultural destinations, and the number of cars placed during each prior week," the STB says. "CP and BNSF will also be directed to include actual performance versus trip plan data for fertilizer shipments."
CP says it was "a little surprised by the order's direction" and asked that it not be required to report weekly on fertilizer volumes. The railroad also says it "will update the board and share information on a weekly basis during our calls with the board's staff, in particular as relates to grain traffic and the situation in the Chicago Terminal.
"Canadian Pacific and its employees are committed to turning things around as safely and as quickly as possible. We will do this by running our operating plan and getting back to normal operating conditions as soon as possible," according to the official response.
To read CP's response, go to the STB's website, www.stb.dot.gov. Visit "quick links" and click on "filings." The filing ID number is 235927.
The region's congressional figures have applauded STB's actions. U.S. Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., urged BNSF to dedicate extra resources to the fertilizer.
Some in the industry, however, are still skeptical.
Other factors
Alan Goldsby is the urea product manager for CHS Crop Nutrients, a fertilizer division of the giant cooperative based in Inver Grove Heights, Minn., and a major supplier of fertilizer in the Upper Great Plains. Goldsby acknowledges the late spring might take the blame for yield impacts of shipping delays.
Goldsby notes systemic problems with the railroad need to be addressed, but those are only part of the problem.
Among the other factors:
-- Low and declining corn prices last fall meant farmers logically didn't pre-purchase as much nitrogen as they usually do, based on prophesies of lower fertilizer prices. Their retailers, consequently, didn't prepare with as much supplies as they otherwise would have.
-- A late harvest and cold fall meant less anhydrous ammonia nitrogen was fall-applied. Typically, 40 percent of the region's fertilization is done in the fall and 60 percent in the spring.
-- Railroad problems became more apparent in mid-January. Industry fertilizer shipments are 30 to 40 days behind schedule, although Goldsby says CHS is probably in better shape, overall.
-- Canada's Agrium Ltd. in early April declared "force majeure," a sort of act-of-god clause allowing the company to not fill fertilizer contracts because of plant problems in Carseland, Alberta. Another Canadian supplier also had interruptions, Goldsby says. That means less fertilizer coming into the Northern Plains from Canada.
-- The Mississippi River barge system is behind schedule because of the exceedingly cold winter. The first barge reportedly was unloaded April 17 — earlier than anticipated, but behind normal arrivals. CHS has its own rail heads in the Gulf of Mexico area, and has diverted some northern-delivery urea to train traffic that would have been supplied via the river.
"Most of the tons moving here by barge are already committed, with people waiting on them," Goldsby says. "The urea won't be sitting on the floor very long. The challenge is how many are scheduled to leave on rail cars, how many on trucks. I would guess a large amount of tons planned for rail may have to move on trucks — especially in the north where the rail service is lagging."
Goldsby says shuttle trains to the north can be loaded, but then, in some cases, can wait 10 to 14 days until they get power and crews to move them.
He is reluctant to give exact figures, but says farmers will end up paying more for transportation costs on fertilizer. He says farmers — where it's agronomically prudent — will adjust to post-plant applications in May and early June rather than pre-plant.
"I don't see this nitrogen getting delivered before it's time to plant the seed," Goldsby says. He says any STB efforts with the railroads would have needed to be launched in mid-February to accomplish any real effect.
Tom Lilja, executive director of the North Dakota Corn Growers, says the problem will be that everybody will want fertilizer all at once.
"Typically, fertilizer distribution starts in the southern part of the United States and works its way north," he says. "There will be logistical issues with the timing this year."
Easing the impact
Some factors, however, could help mitigate the impact. Some farmers with enough storage, fearing short supplies, overbooked their needs for spring. Whatever they get late might not be needed, and as the season moves forward, they'll need less still because they'll shift to soybeans. They'll have plenty of carryover fertilizer for the fall. North Dakota farmers already were planning to plant 1 million fewer acres of corn than they did last year.
Some farmers who don't get the urea they ordered will put anhydrous ammonia nitrogen down instead, but that takes more labor and is a slower process.
"Everybody's scared they won't get it," says Jim Broten a Cooperstown, N.D., farmer and president of the North Dakota Ag Rail Business Council. "As we get later, it will change the fertilizer crunch. Some guys who were wondering if they'd seed corn might go to beans. That might save our butts a little bit."
Raising the prices
Broten says with the spring pressure, urea fertilizer prices will go up. "They're raising the prices because they can, unless you have it pre-bought," Broten says. Farmers are paying up to $150 per ton more for urea than they would have if they'd have pre-bought it.
Tony Jochim, agronomy manager with ADM-Benson Quinn in Rogers, N.D., says his warehouses are full of urea fertilizer, waiting for farmers to get into the fields. His facility covers farmers in a 40- to 50-mile radius.
"Hopefully the railroad starts to perform so we can get cars moved from Minneapolis out to the country," Jochim says, noting he's on the CP system. His facility needs to turn its capacity two more times to serve farmers' needs. He says if he can get some train cars in with fertilizer in them, it will likely pay to hold them and pay demurrage penalties rather than run short of fertilizer for customers.
"We'll know in about two weeks, what the outcome is," Jochim says. Roughly 75 to 80 percent of his clients have pre-bought all of their fertilizer needs, but that works only if the warehouse is replenished.
Jochim says he's had several farmers ask if they can take fertilizer to their farms. He thinks they'll put a couple hundred tons into on-farm hopper bins as an insurance policy, in case the warehouse runs short.
Typically, about 80 percent of the spring fertilizer is applied in the form of dry urea, Jochim says. About 20 percent is anhydrous ammonia.
Art Schmidt, agronomy manager at Central Plains Ag Services of Hannaford, N.D., says his facility will be able to serve its customers and is being careful about taking on new customers. He says the industry will have to realize it has to build bigger storage sheds, so suppliers can meet customer needs during logistical interruptions, but he also realizes there are limits to how much fertilizer can be carried over, considering price swings.
Schmidt adds, somehow farmers and the industry "have a way of getting the work done," regardless of the challenges.
In the long-term, farmers can look forward to local production.
A $1.5 billion to $2 billion project by CHS in Spiritwood, N.D., has been proposed, but CHS has delayed development because of further cost reviews it deemed necessary. If built according to early schedules, it could come on line as early as 2017. A similar-sized project is being developed near Grand Forks, N.D.
If either plant is built, it would "pretty well take away" the problems being seen today, Goldsby says.
Uncertainties in the rail delays have caused farmers and agribusinesses to increase their in-field storage of grain, fertilizer and propane.
This summer, Central City Grain will erect a new, 820,000-bushel steel bin in Carrington, N.D., to go with the already huge 720,000-bushel steel bin it put up in 2012. The reason is a combination of needing more bushels to handle increased plantings of corn in the region, as well as the need to hold more with the uncertainty of getting reliable rail transportation on the Canadian Pacific railway, says manager Jerome Hoheisel.

F Bb Why can't you be blue over me? I've included a couple of variations on the A and Asus chords in this one. These have been provided for convenience. The one you play should be dictated by where you are on the neck. I tend to use both of the As – it just depends which chord I've just played and where I need to be next. If you play the open A on the "over me" part, then you can play the leading notes for the second part of that first verse (E, F#, G#) and then play the barre A, which puts you in the right area of the neck to grab the barre C#7. Obviously, if you play the barre A, then you'll also play the barre Asus. For the verses, the leading notes are played on the sixth string. The leading notes for the C#7 going into the chorus are played on the fifth string. These notes are A, B and C. After playing the C, immediately fret and play the C#7 barre. The key change in the outro has a nice chromatic progression of A#, A, A#, B and C. You can either play these as full chords, or as chord fragments. I prefer to play them as chord fragments, since it gives it an edgier sound. Play those as: Bb A Bb B C e|--1------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--3---2---3---4---5--------------------------------------------------| G|--3---2---3---4---5--------------------------------------------------| D|--3---2---3---4---5--------------------------------------------------| A|--1------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| Notice the A# used here is different than the one diagramed at the top of the page. This is done to keep your hand in close proximity to the C7 and the F in the outro. The leading notes just prior to the key change in the outro are F, G and A. Play these on the sixth string. Intermediate to advanced players should have no problems with this song and will probably figure out ways to make it sound even better. I've gone back and made some changes to the song I originally submitted. After listening to the chorus again, I realized there were some additional chords I had missed. I have edited the submission to include those. I have also included the bluesy double-stops in the outro, just before the last A#.

iPhone 5 may have a projected keyboard that you could use and type on any surface you may like to type on.
Well projected keyboard is I think a long time rumor that exists in the iPhone world that the iPhone will once turn to the use of keyboard using a hologram type of keyboard. i mean with the help of rays a virtual keyboard will be made on any given surface and we will touch the buttons on that virtual keyboard and the keyboard will be image sensitive that will pick the area where we touched the keyboard and use it as an input. but I dont think iphone 5 will have anything like that, Apple inc is stuck in the competition with the samsung galaxy, due to which they cannot afford to have any trial based stuff. I hope you agree with me on this!
I do agree. Although I think it is a VERY cool feature and I would buy it JUST for that feature alone, I don't think we will be seeing anything like this in the iPhone 5. Maybe 7 or 8! Sent from my iPhone using iPF.net
I think its a bit too soon to say we will have some sort of "projected keyboard" Our technology has come along way but i think its a bit to soon for that. What i personally would like to see is the iPhone 5 having some sort of beveled back housing sort of like the ipad 2. I recently ordered a back for my 4s and i hope this gets implemented so we can hold it a bit better and have a better feel in our hands
There used to be a keyboard that projected a laser keyboard on any surface. Can't remember the name, but I bought it one time at Fry's just to give it a try and take it back, wasn't worth a damn in my opinion....too hard to type.
I can imagine the whole screen being projected, so say onto the car windscreen. Would using that option count as a 'hands free'? Would there be more car crashes because of blondes using as a mirror to put on their slap? Would there be more road rage due to perceived rude remarks about others driving blasted across the back screen? I thing exciting times are ahead lol!
I do agree with you but I heard this roomer from a friend that has a friend that works for apple and told my friend so that's how I came about this roomer and so it came from the inside.
I want a smart cover. I love that feature on my iPad! Don't know how they could work it in but it would be very cool
I would honestly get the new iPhone for that and also what would be good is bluetooth that actually worked!!!!
Honestly... w/ Apples track record on the last 4 iPhone releases, we're sure to see an external redesign. That's what I'm looking forward to w/ the next release. Possibly stepping up to 1GB of ram... that would also be nice. Flashing red LED isn't going to help me much since I'm color blind.. LOL!!! And a projected keyboard... come one people, this isn't Star Trek.
It's not yet you have to admit that that advancements in technology are greatly increasing and they have been for the last ten years. But one gb of ram would be nice. I'm also looking forward to a redesign

Did you purchase a Wolf stove with the charbroiler unit?
Are you happy with it? Have you used it without the steel insert plate in place? I like my steaks and hamburgers heavily seared on the outside and rare on the inside........can this be accomplished on the Wolf with the searing plate in place or does the plate need to be removed? If removed, will the infrared burner be damaged by the dripping and burning fat landing on it and flaming up?
I heard that the intensity of the infrared burner is not adjustable....it's either off or on high. If so, how do you prepare chicken, ribs, etc.?
We're very happy with ours. I use it with and without the insert. You can really sear a steak without it, but rare is mostly what you'll get if there's any thickness to the meat. If you like rare, cooking without the plate should work for you. The unit works with or without the plate. It flares some, but not to the point of being a problem in my experience. The intensity is not adjustable. I don't cook ribs on the charbroiler, those go in my smoker. Chicken pieces you could brown, I suppose, but would have to finish in the oven. A skinless breast works well with the plate installed.
A WOLF is a very expensive purchase. If you want to make sure it performs in a specific manner, it would be best to find a place where they do demonstrations. Another high power range is Bluestar. That company offers a charbroiler as well as a 22,000 btu burner while the WOLF only goes to 16,000. I found out about the Bluestar ranges after having already purchased a WOLF or I may have gone that route.
Do NOT spend $8,000 to $10,000, or more, on a range based on what I tell you. Find and see one in action. You wouldn't buy a car without test driving one. I went to a showroom where they demonstrated the range's capabilities.
Thanks for your reply, Kevin. I think you are right about attending a demostration. There is a Wolf demostration showroom in Orlando, Florida, which is about 2+ hours from my house. I will definitely attend a demo before deciding on a Wolf unit.
Hi all,
I just bought a wolf srt364c, 36", 4 sealed-burner, with infrared charbroiler grill. It's currently being held at our retailers warehouse till our remodel is ready. I want to know if there's more advice re the range hood. We are looking at several others right now, inserts, and are trying to shave some cost off our huge reno bill by not going with wolf hoods (seem over-priced).
Looking currently at the Best series,
PIK33 (36"), with a 900 CFM external blower, 6 plus sones ~ $1328, and the CP47E362SB with 900 cfm ext blower 6 plus sones. ~ $1828.
Also looking at the Faber, inca pro 38 (1100) cfm internal fan, 3.5-6.5 sones, for around ~$1899.
Finally, the Tornado II, 38", 1000 cfm. (8 sones max) ~ $1778.
Any help from all of you would be appreciated.
I went with the Viking. I don't regret it, but I kind of regret not going with the wolf.
I do really like my hood. I had really done a lot of research. The power is important but I think it's
also import to have variable speeds and easy access cleaning and good lighting.
I ended up going local with the Vent-a-Hood company.
Multi speed power, good front lighting and two openings in the top back to screw in the large heat lamps;
Easy reach to the filter and shields and even the squirl cages. Throw them in the dish washer.
It seemed as good if not better then the ones I research, only cheaper.
Curious if you are in OK at the Red River. You could probably save delivery charge by picking it up.
Never! Live To Work!:::::::Work To Live!::Life Is Too Short!!Paninicakes.com
Thanks Pan,
I did look at Vent a hood, but our retailer only carried their stainless hoods, not the inserts. We are having ours inserted behind cabinetry. I'm going to have to look into the heat lamp thing too, haven't considered that option yet. I really do want to find the easiest one to clean/maintain.
We are just 50 yards/meters from the Red River. It's getting up there but we should be fine. Our house has never flooded but many of our neighbors have had problems. We've got a permanent dike and are a little higher than some of the properties around here.
thanks for asking.
I don't know about the Wolf home products as it seems to be a different company then commercial division. What I can tell you is that in my opinion commercially it is some of the worst jJUNK I have ever used. Broilers , if you put 8 sirloins on it's ok but no bounce back qualities on BTU s therefore you have to wait quite a while before you put second 8 on. It backs you up bigtime.Their oven thermostats contantly burn out. Their burners airflow changes on their own, so bottom of pots get carbon filthy. Even the service men who repair them think they are garbage. Go with the old reliables Vulcan or Southbend or Blodgett to be SAFE and SURE.

I'm looking at the 36" using Wolf downdraft. thoughts??
I presently have a down draft (not wolf) in my island and I'm changing it. Total and complete joke! The pop up function is always breaking and after speaking with the Service Techs that have come out to fix it, they tell me that it's a standard problem. It's a great piece of equipment for a person that doesn't cook!! Also, I find that it doesn't vent out any of the cooking smells, grease / fat when frying, it seems to pull some of the steam when I'm boiling water but other than that - complete fail.
I'm looking at installing a hood over my cooktop which is turning into a bit of a nightmare because my joists are 10 inches apart as opposed to the standard 16. Pain in the neck but I know that I'll be happier when it's done.
I had a Wolf with a Charbroiler for 25 years and just loved it! It is very handy for cooking for one or two people. The taste is pretty much like using an outdoor gas grill. Not as good as using charcoal.
When it came time to replace the Wolf this last summer, I got another one.
And the person who said the grill will look used is right - so be sure to use the cover.

Wondering whether I should take a look now or wait until I finished getting ready, I continued waving the hair dryer around my head, feeling the lovely heated air wafting through my luxurious locks. Regarding myself critically in the mirror I thought to myself,...Read On

A story of country pursuits
The horse suddenly veered to the left, snorting and threw his head up, nearly hitting my nose. I wrestled with the reins and reluctantly he resumed our course. 'Bloody horses. Thousands of years as man's companion and still scared of pigs.' Vicky laughed from the saddle of the much larger horse alongside me. 'You really don't like horses do you?' 'I hate the bloody things.

I'm Victoria, but my close friends call me Tori. After work Friday night, walking from my car to meet my girlfriend at the night club which she had recommended, I was late.

"I had to see you. I couldn't bear to think of you being here alone."

Ekadasi is one such festival that can be celebrated by anyone without falling into the regimentations of caste and creed. Every year Ekadasi is celebrated at Sree Krishna Temple with much reverence. The temple town of Guruvayur witnesses too many festivals during the Mandala season and Ekadasi is perhaps the most popular one.
The Chembai Music Festival, Guruvayur Kesavan Memorial Day, Narayaneeya Day and Kalabhattam are some of the other popular celebrations at Guruvayur during Mandala season. And each year thousands of devotees from across the state congregate at the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple to take part in the Ekadasi celebrations.
It is believed that it was during the Suklapaksha Ekadasi day of the Malayalam month of Vrischikam that Lord Vishnu was reincarnated as Ekadasi Tithi in the form of a Devi. This day is also observed as Holy Gita Day as it was on this auspicious day that the Lord Krishna imparted the teachings of Gita to Arjuna.
Yet another legend says that Adi Sankaracharya was flying over the Sree Krishna Temple on this particular day and as he did not bother to attend the Ekadasi Ezhunellippu that was going on in the temple premises, all on a sudden he lost all his supernatural powers to fall flat in front of Lord Guruvayoorappan. Even today one can find markings of his fall on the Northern side of the temple.
Generally Hindus consider the eleventh day of every lunar fortnight to be quite auspicious and this particular day is when the Ekadasi is celebrated. The renowned singer late Chembai Vaidyanath Bhagawathar used to conduct music concerts on every Ekadasi day at Guruvayur.
On the Ekadasi day it is customary to pay rich tributes to Guruvayur Kesavan, the legendary elephant who breathed his last on an Ekadasi day. As part of Ekadasi celebrations, Devaswam also make elaborate arrangements for a mass feast to all those who gather at the temple to participate in the festival.

Saying that he was unable to arrange a meeting with a Wisconsin county executive to discuss court security in the wake of safety concerns raised by a high-profile courthouse shooting in Delaware last month, the Milwaukee County sheriff tried a different approach.
Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. sent a female undercover officer, in civilian attire and armed, to the Milwaukee County courthouse complex on Wednesday for an "integrity check," reports the Journal Sentinel.
The result, Clarke announced in a press release, was that the officer cleared six courthouse security checkpoints. Although the gun tucked into the woman's waistband did set off a metal detector at the courthouse entrance, security officials let her go when she pointed to a metal belt buckle as the apparent cause, according to the sheriff.
"The security check has become an exercise in going through the motions," Clarke said in the release, blaming "complacency and a lack of a sense of urgency" and "inadequate supervision" the county's facilities management division. The sheriff said he is now going to post deputies at courthouse checkpoints, using unbudgeted overtime to do so.
County Executive Chris Abele said his office has been trying since Feb. 28 to arrange to meet with Clarke and expressed disappointment that the sheriff addressed security issues in a press release before talking with county officials, the Journal Sentinel reports.
After receiving word of the press release, Abele said, he met with facilities management personnel and "I said I want to know everything we can about this, what can we do to make it better."
Abele said he also wants to meet with Clarke.

But at last, the IPO doldrums seem to be ending. Data from Renaissance Capital's IPOHome shows seven IPOs priced in January, up from a big none in January 2009. There have been 13 new IPO filings this first month, up from two in the same period last year.
Why should you care? The IPO upswing is good news for lots of small businesses that are looking for money--and not just the ones thinking IPO.
Why? Because IPOs are such a popular form of cash-out for venture capitalists. The lack of IPOs meant fewer lucrative exits, and contributed to a record low in VC investments in small businesses last year with only about $17.7 billion, the lowest figure in a decade. Even 2008 saw nearly $28 billion in VC investment, data from the PricewaterhouseCoopers/National Venture Capital Association/Moneytree study showed. With the restart of IPOs as a possible exit strategy for investors, we should hopefully see venture capital flows rise again in 2010.
Last week, insurer Symetra Financial went public, among others. Coming this week are the planned IPOs of five U.S. companies in a variety of industries:
• Patriot Risk Management, another insurer, is the smallest IPO on the block for this week, seeking $214 million. It's a small-to-medium sized business: company sales are $33 million and it has 150 employees, its public filings show.
• Independent movie finance and production company Film Department Holdings is seeking about $439 million. Company is definitely small-bizville--has 22 employees and sales are $13 million.
Bigger companies trying the IPO route this week include FriendFinder Networks, which offers adult social networking, investment bank Imperial Capital, and drug-development firm Ironwood Pharmaceuticals. The appearance of smaller businesses in the IPO markets again is a big change that will hopefully help encourage more venture-capital investment in 2010.
One other factor that may help prime the IPO market this year--the companies that did go public last year saw their stock soar. Renaissance's IPO Index rose nearly 55 percent in 2009, results that should encourage stock investors to take a flier on new IPOs and strengthen this year's market.
With any luck, the IPO recovery will translate into growth in other forms of funding for small businesses in the coming year.

If you have any questions, please contact the Archives.
Policy on Retention of University Records (32 KB PDF)
The work your office does is important. Transferring your office's records to the Archives ensures that your contributions to CWRU's development is remembered. Without records from all offices, important information is lost.
You can save physical and digital storage space by transferring records to the Archives.
By transferring the seldom used records, you are no longer responsible for caring for them and searching them when necessary. The information you need will always be available; there is even a bonus: by combining the resources of the many departments that transfer records, a full and accurate research service can be provided.
The Archives collects the records of University administrative offices, academic schools and departments. The Archives will not keep every document, photograph, publication, etc. that is created by an office. Through accessioning and appraisal decisions we create the leanest documentary record of Case Western Reserve University.
What the Archives wants from your office or department are the inactive records which document its purpose and functions. There are two main types of functions to be documented: core program activities and oversight/coordination activities.
Core program activities
Core program activities include work directly related to the primary programs and services which are the responsibility of your office. Examples of core activities are:
Oversight and coordination activities
Oversight and coordination activities include work necessary to keep all the separate programs and services working as a coherent whole. Examples of coordination activities are:
Examples of document types produced in the administration of these functions include:
Routine support activities
There are some functions which are necessary to support core activities, but that are not the purpose of your office. These are called routine support activities (or housekeeping activities). Examples of routine support activities are:
Examples of document types produced in the administration of these functions include:
Do not send these to the Archives.
Reference copies
Your office will also have documents which were not produced by your office but distributed throughout the University. These are what is known as reference copies or convenience copies. We already receive the record copy from the office of origin. Examples of these document types include:
Do not send these to the Archives unless you are the office of origin.
External publications
You will oftentimes have publications or brochures from institutions external to the University. They are often kept for reference purposes. Examples of these document types include:
Do not send these to the Archives.
Blanks and Objects
Examples include:
Do not send these to the Archives.
These guidelines must be administered thoughtfully. What is a routine support activity in one office might be a core activity in another office. For example, purchasing procedures are a routine support activity for the History Department; they are a core activity for Procurement and Distribution Services.
These instructions are for paper records transferred to the Archives. If your office is considering transferring electronic records, please contact the Archives.
Your cooperation with these procedures will enable the Archives to preserve and service your office's records more efficiently. Records improperly transferred to the Archives will be subject to immediate return at your office's expense.

Active Records
Active records should not be sent to the University Archives. Records are active when the work to which they relate is ongoing or when they are frequently consulted for routine business.
Inactive Records
The University Archives only accepts inactive records. Being inactive does not mean records are useless. It means that their primary job is finished. Records are considered inactive when:
Records can be categorized in several ways.
Project Files
It is important to keep the documentation of a project or event together. For example, the planning, construction, and occupation of the Kelvin Smith Library took place over 6 years. You would not pull out the first 3 years of the project and transfer them. Keep all the records together until the project is completed and transfer them as a whole.
Another example might be: you work for the University Alumni Affairs Office and plan Reunion Weekend every year. You may wish to keep the most recent 2 years of reunion records to refer to, but not need anything older. You find this is true for all the alumni events you plan and coordinate. You then decide to transfer 3-year old event files annually (e.g. 1999 homecoming, reunion, and other event files are transferred in 2002; 2000 files are transferred in 2003, etc.).
Case Files
Case files document a fixed set of transactions executed across a defined population, generally using standardized forms to conduct and record those transactions. Each file contains the same kinds of records that result from the same set of activities. The files are differentiated from one another by the distinct cases they document. For example, dean's office student files document the progression of students from the date they matriculate until their commencement or withdrawal. There is one file for each student.
Case files should not be transferred until they are at least 5 years past their close date. For example, dean's office student files for students who graduated or withdrew in 2002 can be transferred in 2007.
Subject Files
There is no set time period for transferring these type of files. These are files which are organized by topics, and do not readily fall into the other categories. They contain documents concerning a wide variety of functions and activities. (They are also called topical files.) These activities are often ongoing, i.e. there is no end date.
For example, your office has all documents regarding dormitories and room and board in a file called "Housing." You put such documents in here until the folder is full, and then you can label its span dates (e.g. 1995-2000). You then create a new folder with the same folder title and consecutive span dates (e.g. Housing, 2001- ) and fill in the end date when full. For example:
Another example might include a heading with folder titles. You administer in some manner endowed professorships. You have a general folder with procedural and establishment information which you call "Endowed Professorships." You then need separate folders for the several chairs you have.
For example:
When a file is closed (e.g. Housing, 1985-1990), and no longer active, then it could be transferred.
Frequency of Transfer
As with most maintenance activities, transferring records on a regular schedule can minimize the pain and inconvenience and improve your efficiency. We recommend reviewing your office's records annually. Some offices incorporate it as part of end of fiscal year activities and preparation of annual report.
Do not worry if you only send 1 box a year. Volume does not matter. In this case, quality of the records is what counts!
When records are transferred to the University Archives, they are accessioned.
1. We assign an accession number that uniquely identifies this set of records.
2. We compare the contents of the boxes to the box list you prepared and note corrections if needed.
3. We record information about the records, their creators, and their transfer.
4. We send the information recorded in step 3 to you in a Records Release.

text: Definition of Amaurosis fugaxAmaurosis fugax: A symptom described as a shade coming down over the eye. A partial or complete loss of sight that is temporary. This temporary interference with vision is usually related to atherosclerosis in the blood vessels that supply the brain. It can also occur with excessive acceleration, as in flight. Amaurosis is the Greek word for darkening, dark, or obscure. The ancients used it to refer to dimmed vision, especially if there was nothing they could see that was wrong with the eye itself. Fugax is related to fugitive (fleeing). Amaurosis fugax therefore means a fleeting loss of vision.

If the 6mth old boat had the "right" spec, I would choose that one.
If there were "must have" options that I really really wanted but were not available on stock boats or second hand boats (e.g. leopard skin with purple upholstery) and that were hard to retrofit, I would order a new one.

Thats a very wise observation, although the range widens as boats get older because relatively new boats tend to be in good condition. It is when they get to the second and third owner that some start to deteriorate quicker than others, or get messed about in the name of improvement.
06-09-11, 23:28 #14
Dont think depreciation comes into it much. I've got all the bills since my boat was new.
For a few years it actually went up in price, then stabalised, but still more than new.
That was up to ten years ago and the price has been stable till a couple of years ago.
Prices now seem to be dropping like a stone.
I'm just looking for a reasonable asking price.

I'm not unhappy with S28 depreciation, maybe £20k or so over six years.
That, I can live with.
But, £30k per year ???

Just had a thought.....
It's worse than £30k a year, we are comparing two buying prices, the second one should be what the owner sold the boat for.

Depends what you consider as depreciation I suppose.
I was recently offered broadly what I paid for my boat, so arguably i'd have seen no depreciation during 4 yrs ownership. However, money is worth less now through inflation, and if i'd have stuck the money in the bank 4 years ago i'd have got maybe 12% after tax during that 4 yrs, so arguably it has depreciated 12%. If I sold it though, I'd want to buy a replacement, and to buy the equivalent boat of the same age (at time of purchase) i'd be looking at maybe 30% more because new boat prices have rocketed, so arguably it has depreciated 25%.
The last measure is most relevant to me, so I kept the boat
07-09-11, 08:14 #19
We bought our 2004 Sealine F37 in 2007 and sold it this year. In pounds we lost 9% in four years, which is not at all bad (if talking about euros, we lost a lot more of course, but that's a somewhat different story).
We've been searching for a new slightly bigger three cabin boat, but I've been amazed by the depreciation of some of the models we've looked at. I need to gather some statistics to get better understanding on this before jumping to conclusions.

Anthony Shadid of the New York Times reports [6] that a song, "Come on Bashar, Leave," is spreading across Syria, boldly calling on President Bashar al-Assad to step down. (Bryan Farrell also wrote about it at the Waging Nonviolence blog [7].) The article suggests that a young cement layer who chanted it in demonstrations was pulled from the Orontes River this month, his throat having been cut, and, according to residents of the city of Hama, his vocal chords torn out. Hama is where, in 1982, then-president Hafez al-Assad [8], father of the current president named in the song, gave orders to the army to massacre more than 10,000 in putting down an Islamist upheaval. Today, boys 6-years-old and older vocalize their own rendition of the original warbler's song instead. As the song has sped across Syria, demonstrators have adopted it for themselves.
During the U.S. civil rights movement, "freedom songs" raised courage, stated the goals, declared commitment, united separated communities, and sometimes took melodic aim at notorious police chiefs. As a contemporary expression of spirituals, freedom songs derived from the black choral tradition that developed from the African and American experiences, matured in the fires of southern slavery. They addressed frustrations, forged bonds of personal loyalty, assuaged fear and dread, and fortified a people under stress. A strong tradition of composing during performance, in response to need, meant that new phrases would be added or a stanza changed to take up a specific issue, such as deciding whether to go to jail the next day. Song leading became an organizing tool. The civil rights struggle was profoundly rich in song, due to the significance of black congregational singing, nourished as it was by faith and resistance. The movement's signature anthem, "We Shall Overcome," has since become a universal expression of civil resistance movements across the world.
Later, music held a central role in the nonviolent revolutions [9] of the Eastern bloc. On August 23, 1989, hundreds of thousands of Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians linked hands in a human chain across 400 miles, "manually" connecting the capital cities of the three Baltic republics. As many as 2 million participants of all ages demanded the right to restore their independent statehood, as they sang folk and nationalist songs. They called their action the Baltic Way. Estonia's struggle that brought independence is specifically known as the Singing Revolution.

MI: MAX Transit Begins Non-user Community Survey
If a Hope College student calls asking you to take a survey, MAX transit hopes you'll take the call.
Beginning May 13, Hope College students will begin calling non-transit users in the lakeshore community to conduct a survey for the Macatawa Area Express Transportation Authority. Residents of the cities of Holland and Zeeland, and the townships of Holland, Zeeland, Park and portions of Port Sheldon and West Olive will be included in the study.
The 14-question survey asks residents why they don't use the transit system's services and what improvements would make MAX a more viable and attractive transportation option for them. The Frost Center hopes to complete a minimum of 800 surveys for data that is statistically 95 percent accurate. Results and findings from the survey will be presented to the MAX Authority Board at its June 23 meeting.
MAX contracted with the Frost Center for Social Science Research at Hope College to conduct the study.
The community wide non-user survey is conducted every few years by MAX to gauge resident's perceptions about public transit, and whether they are willing to pay more for transit system improvements that meet their needs.
The previous community survey, conducted in 2010, revealed that six percent of respondents reported they used the MAX, which is double the typical use rate for transit communities of MAX's size. This year's responses and findings will be compared with those from the 2010 survey to identify any changes in perceptions, needs or trends.

My PSA after the surgery dropped to 0.003c. In 2009 my PSA rose to 0.019. In Jan of 2011 my PSA was 0.114c. In July of 2011 my PSA was 0.251c. This sent up a flag according to my oncologist. He ordered another PSA test in 3 months instead of the usual 6 mo. In Nov of 2011 My PSA was 0.680. My urologist saw this and said I must go on Lupron immediately.....That day. He also said that I could be on this for life but the effects of it should lessen as time goes on. I chose to use the new lupron (6 mo) and it was given to me within the hour. He said we are taking no chances with this.
This new Lupron (6 mo) was NOT like the Lupron (4 Mo) that I had in 2007. The affects were much greater and severe. I am thinking , is it just me.
I know about the hot flash sessions from before but they were not like this. A session will start with HEAVY sweating from my forhead with a very debilitating effect. I have to stop whaterver I am doing and rest and wait and this will last 10 to 15 min and then I will go into a cool down for about 10 minutes and then I will go into a freeze mode for about 10 to 15 minutes. Shivering to the point of teeth chattering while be wrapped up in wool blankets. After the secession is over I will be completely exhausted like I ran a marathon. I have to rest/sleep for about 1/2 to an hour to 1 hour at least to recover.
My state of living is I am allways lacking energy. Half of what I usually had before the Lupron (6 Mo). It is like the hot flash sessions are allways there. Just waiting for a time to strike and surface and when it does I just deal with it. They are not allways thet severe and time the don't amount to much but they are allways lingering. Last week I had 3 sessions within 4 hours. One severe and two less severe and after that I was totall wiped out and went to bed to sleep immediately. After that I had a few minor sessions. Rest is the answer. Stress and working hard at my job exacerbates the session.
I understand why I have to have the Lupron and I am OK with that. I am on the fourth month of the Lupron (6 Mo) I will do whatever it takes to survive this what I have to do The alternative is not appealing.
The other effects of lupron of being tired all the time, loss of energy, loss of desire, loss of muscle mass making you weaker, and generally not feeling very good and some sadness are all there.
My question is about Lupron (6 Mo) This stuff seems different. Is it just meView Thread
